Key Stage 2 Carols– Tuesday 15th December – 7pm in the school hall. Parents are invited to come along and hear the children sing a variety of carols and Christmas Songs. There will be standing room only and with the necessary attention being paid to the fire safety regulations, this will restrict numbers to approximately 2 to 3 people per family being able to come along. Children need to be back in school for 6.30pm for preparations. FOWPS will be selling refreshments, mulled wine and minced pies, after the performance. They will also be selling Woodcote Primary School fabric carrier bags – £1.00 each. Please note that parking may be difficult as Langtree have an event on the same evening.
